re: Year 1 Records of some of the TOP SEC Coaches

In years past, some teams were absolutely decimated by players declaring, graduating, transferring out, or just quitting, and coaches had to grab a few players from the portal and put all their eggs in the recruiting basket, knowing they've got a long road ahead for rebuilding.

Yeah, players in past years have been allowed to lobby the NCAA to transfer when the coaches that recruited them left and there was no "backfilling" their spots through the portal. So while I get the "two-way street" thing, most new coaches have had to deal with attrition without a means of replacing those who left.
